Not long ago I asked my mentor Michael Neill, ‘What are the real problems that you are helping people solve? He thought about it for a bit and then he said, ‘I help people get out of their heads and help them see through their overthinking’.?
And it clicked for me.
When you are mired in overthinking, all of your creative energy goes to dealing with the overthinking. Michael once shared a metaphor that explained it like going for a long hike and filling your backpack with heavy rocks and then complaining why the hike is so hard. All of your energy goes into carrying the extra weight in the backpack instead of enjoying the hike.
To most people, overthinking things becomes a normal state of being and living. You don’t know you are operating at 20% of your full power. And worse, you’ve forgotten what it’s like to live at 80% or even 100% of your full power.
And it occurred to me that when you solve those problems; overthinking and being stuck in your own head… you really do come online to your full power.
But what does that really mean? And how do you do it?
To me, coming online to your full range of power means…
The simplest and most direct route to tapping into your full range of power is simply to notice that you are overthinking things or notice you are stuck in your head about something.
The moment you realize you are caught up in overthinking, you get that overthinking about overthinking just isn’t going to help. It makes sense to slow down, give yourself a break, and re-centre yourself.
As soon as you do that, a lot of interesting things start to happen.?
You naturally begin to plug back into the mains (your true power). Your wifi reconnects to your innate Wisdom. Clarity returns. Creativity becomes available. Insights become available. Solutions become obvious. You naturally know what to say. You naturally know what to do. And if you don’t, you know to wait a bit for the right solution to come to you rather than forcing something to happen.
A whole new world of possibility naturally unfolds for you.

And when you learn to spend more time in that settled space, you find that the world becomes more and more magical. You’ll find your world expanding, not shrinking.?
And the next time you get caught up in overthinking, it just isn’t as scary, because you know and remember what’s really available to you; your true power.
I remember when one of my best friends called me because she was feeling stuck. She is a renowned Taewkondo instructor and covid had temporarily wiped out her businesses. She had over 10 Taekwondo branches and 500 students that could not train because of covid restrictions.
She was feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. She was surviving on a shoe-string budget to try and make ends meet. And we had a conversation, and for most of it, I just listened. The more I listened the more she got settled. The more she settled the better she felt.
And when it felt right, we started throwing around ideas of what she could do to get back to thriving until she can open her Taekwondo schools again. And within 30 mins she had at least 10 great money making ideas that ranged from getting a job to learning new marketable skills, contacting the parents of her students to see what work she could do, and she even came up with 2-3 things to sell online.
Within a week she had 2-3 ideas into action. She had a renewed energy about her. Her world was expanding again and things started to fall into place. Money was flowing again too.
You see, my secret is that I know that everyone, I do mean everyone has available within them the ability to connect to their full range of power. And I know that when they do, their whole life will change for the better.
If coming online to your full range of power is something that you’d like to give to yourself and learn more about, send me a message and we’ll have a conversation to see if you are a fit for the program.
What program? This one.
I designed a 1-1, 4x month intensive to help you do just that. It’s deep. It’s highly transformative. The things you’ll learn will serve you for the rest of your life and positively impact those around you. Fees start at 8k USD.
People who have gotten the most out of this program have been Everyday Leaders, Executives, Business Owners, Professional Athletes, and Media Personalities. The thing that they all had in common was that they knew that even more was possible for them and they were committed to seeing what was possible for them when they did tap into their full range of power.
The results? Their businesses expanded. Their performances improved. Some of them even found love. Most notably, they spent more time feeling fulfilled, creative, productive, intuitive and happy.?
